Outstanding recognition for a great man from the neighborhood.

Posted Bobby Leaver, Howie Bischoff
inThanks to my friend Al Powers for this sad information.
Like Al said on his Facebook page, we have lost two alumni of 16th street.
Howie Bischoff and Bobby Leaver died yesterday.
Both men, members of FDNY were fighting cancer due to their time spent working down at Ground Zero after 9-11.
I didn’t know Bobby too well but Howie was one of my favorites from the neighborhood! Loved watching him play for Farrell’s football down at Farragut Road. Kenny Whelan also once mentioned that Howie was a heck of a Rugby player. It’s no surprise there; Howie played with a lot of heart, toughness and passion.
My thoughts and sympathies go out to both families.
I am waiting on more information.
Respectfully,
